My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 764: Heavenly Flames

In the chaotic void, darkness covered the sky.

As a scream rang out, the giant hand like a towering pillar was wiped out in an instant.

A muffled voice was heard—

“Tian Zuo has died.”

“His aura disappeared in the broken realm, indicating that there is an existence there capable of killing us.”

“I remember that Heavenly Eye was searching for the Mustard Seed Space in the broken realm and was in the same location as the creation of the incarnation that Tain Zuo was parasitic upon.”

Following this statement, two glowing eyes appeared in the darkness.

In unison, they spoke, “The guardian of the Dao of Life and Death in the broken realm does indeed have the means to eliminate us.”

“Immortal abilities are ineffective within his domain, even if they are parasitic on the creation of the incarnation. He can trace them back to the true body and kill them. That is why Tian Zuo died.”

Another giant hand spoke softly, “You have the ability to foresee the future, so why did you not prevent all of this from happening?”

Tian Zuo responded, “The guardian of the broken realm’s Dao of Life and Death has been shielding my divination abilities. My ability to foresee the future has been severely limited.”

“Of course, I did see the outcome of Tian Zuo’s death and did not give a warning.”

“Because I wanted to use Tian Zuo’s desperate struggle to find an opportunity to escape, otherwise, if I were to die in that person’s domain, my true body would also perish.”

The tone was unemotional and indifferent, as if merely stating a simple fact.

A brief silence ensued, and then the giant hand spoke, “A reasonable judgment.”

For these bizarre beings, emotions and compassion never existed.

As tall as a mountain, the body made of piles of meat suddenly opened its mouth at the belly button: “If the guardian of the Dao of Life and Death does possess such power, he will indeed pose a threat to us.”

A crimson glimmer flashed in Heavenly Eye’s eye, “His power is strong, but not as strong as the Heavenly Emperor or the Ghost Lord. Tian Zuo died because of the limitations of the Buddhist creation of the incarnation and the suppression of the laws of the broken realm.”

“If we can descend in our true form, we might be able to find a way to kill him.”

“So, you have a plan?” a voice asked from the darkness.

Heavenly Eye responded, “In the process of searching for Mustard Seed Space, I discovered the secret of the broken void of the Buddhist world. The connection there is the extreme realm of the four broken realms.”

“The broken void of the Buddhist realm can’t bear our powers at all. Attempting to traverse it will only shatter the void and sink us into the endless temporal rifts.”

After the disappearance of the Heavenly Emperor in the Immortal Realm, the Gods and Demons split into two factions: one turned traitor, the other scattered, without any adversary.

However, before the Heavenly Emperor and the Buddhas disappeared, they left the enemy with significant injuries.

In Kunlun Mountain and Mount Sumeru, a heart and a head were respectively sealed.

As for the previous Ghost Lord of Netherworld, before perishing, she collaborated with Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha and Netherworld’s Ghost Emperor’s to seal their most powerful force—the Heavenly Soul.

This is also why the Immortal Realm and Netherworld managed to survive over thousands of years.

During this period, they also tried to find the Heavenly Emperor and Mustard Seed Space to unseal Mount Sumeru through the broken void of the Buddhist world. However, the endless clones they transformed could not be maintained in the broken void for a long time.

“I have a way.”

“What way?”

“By sacrificing half of my body, I will use the Dao of void to maintain spatial stability.”

Heavenly Eye is one body with two minds, each eye being one of its incarnations.

Upon hearing these words, silence filled the surroundings.

After a long time, the mountain-like body asked: “What did you foresee that is worth paying such a price?”

“The Heavenly Emperor is also in the broken realm.”

After defeating the massive flesh hand, Mu Heng did not pursue further.

Above the volcanic fire, the sky twisted as if some terrifying force was descending, like shackles wrapping around Mu Heng.

“The time has come,” Mu Heng murmured.

The surrounding domain began to dissipate and then transformed into black light, converging beside him and finally evolving into a massive black coffin!

Life force began to drain from him and flow into the black coffin.

His hair gradually turned gray, his physique was no longer strong, and wrinkles appeared on his face.

In a matter of ten breaths, the aged Mu Heng reappeared, carrying the heavy black coffin on his back and walking towards Qin Feng and his group.

Gong Cang and his group found the severely injured Commander Fu and Bai Wudi.

The former had a pale face, with blood soaking through her clothes and a ghastly wound in her abdomen.

The latter, having exhausted all her strength, revealed her true form—a giant white tiger, drenched in blood, with all four limbs broken.

Qin Feng utilized the Dual Pupil Ability for a moment and examined their condition. Both had shattered internal organs, and their spines were broken in segments.

For the Literature Saint Dao Lineage or the Hundred Ghost Dao Lineage, even if they were at the transcendence realm, such injuries would be fatal.

However, the Divine Martial Warrior and Demons and Ghosts’ strong physical bodies kept them both clinging to life.

As long as they were still breathing, Qin Feng could find a way to save them.

“Bai Su!”

“Yiya!”

The little one followed the instructions, clenching its tiny fists and starting to summon healing thunder.

Green lightning washed over Commander Fu and Bai Wudi’s bodies. The cracked flesh began to heal at a visible pace, but neither of them awoke, and their life force was rapidly fading.

“Yiya?” Bai Su blinked with confusion on its face, then suppressed its blush and used all its strength to release the healing thunder.

Even so, it couldn’t stop the deterioration.

Qin Feng frowned. With his Dual Pupil Ability, he could see clearly that there was some sort of qi disrupting the vital organs of the two, and even Bai Su’s healing thunder couldn’t repair the damage.

The City God statue in Shen Li’s hands spoke up, saying, “Residual power from the opponent’s Dao remains within them. If it can’t be removed, they will surely die.”

“How could this be?” The members of the Demon Slaying Department looked grave.

“Sister!” Mo Sanyi looked deeply troubled.

Hmm? Residual power from the Dao principal? Qin Feng pondered.

He walked over to Fu Ruoyun and Bai Wudi, and with a thought, the yin-yang fish of his yin-yang dao law appeared again.

The City God statue closely observed the phenomenon.

Qin Feng placed his hands on the two, and a powerful suction emerged from his palms. Soon, the yin-yang fish had absorbed all the residual power from the dao laws within the two, strengthening itself.

Without the destructive effects of the dao laws, Bai Su’s healing thunder began to take effect.

It wasn’t long before Fu Ruoyun and Bai Wudi’s furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and they opened their eyes.

Seeing this, Gong Cang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, grateful to Qin Feng.

Without him, Commander Fu and Bai Wudi’s injuries would have been beyond the reach of even a deity.

Bai Wudi tried to stand up but stumbled, and Mo Sanyi rushed to support her.

Fu Ruoyun struggled to sit up and thanked Qin Feng before asking worriedly, “How did the battle turn out?”

Before Qin Feng could respond, the sound of something heavy dragging on the ground approached.

The group turned to see the familiar figure of Mu Heng.

After hearing Mu Heng’s account, Qin Feng marveled at the power of the Yin-Yang Dao Law, ‘No wonder Mu Heng could rejuvenate himself; he stores his life force in the black coffin and retrieves it when needed.’

But Fu Ruoyun’s focus was not on this: “So, another enemy escaped to the depths of the volcano?”

Mu Heng nodded slightly.

“No, we have to stop it.” Fu Ruoyun tried to stand up, but after narrowly escaping death, her body was too weak. She staggered and fell back down.

Gong Cang admonished: “Commander Fu, you can’t even stand firm now. Even if you go, you won’t be able to make any difference.”

“Right, Commander Fu. It’s best for you to rest here. Leave the next steps to us,” Qin Feng asserted.

The others looked on with admiration and respect.

“Qin Feng, you…” Gong Cang hesitated, clearly moved.

“Young Master Qin is so righteous!” The others praised him one after another.

“Husband.” The two wives also had complicated expressions.

‘Did you misunderstand something? I was clearly talking about us, but the way you all look at me, it seems like I’m about to sacrifice myself.’ Qin Feng stiffened.

He turned to the side and asked, “Senior Brother Shen, when will the Second Senior Brother arrive?”

Shen Li glanced towards the east and replied, “If nothing unexpected happens, he should be here soon.”

That’s good. Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Su Tianyue should be on his way, and with the reinforcements Sun Qi had gathered, they could fill the gap left by Commander Fu and Bai Wudi in terms of transcendence realm strength.

Moreover, the most troublesome Ghost Buddha had already been dealt with by Mu Heng. The remaining giant eye was just a mere incarnation and shouldn’t pose much of a threat.

The battle situation seemed to be becoming clearer.

“Let’s hurry and catch up.” Qin Feng said.

Gong Cang frowned as he remembered something: “But the further we go into the volcano, the more the flames will affect us. If we continue pursuing this way, we might lose our strength before we find the enemy.”

Qin Feng realized that he had almost forgotten about this. He looked around; the earlier battle had not extinguished the flames, and they were still burning intensely.

The City God statue floating in the air stared at the surrounding flames, deep in thought.

At this moment, Fu Ruoyun took out an ancient scroll from her chest pocket: “This may be useful to you.”

Qin Feng was slightly surprised and then asked, “Is this the key the teacher mentioned earlier?”

“Yes, but since I inherited it from the previous commander, I haven’t opened it. I don’t know exactly where it leads or what its purpose is.”

“However, since the Heavenly Tower National Teacher emphasized its importance, I believe it will be helpful to you.”

Qin Feng didn’t say much else and respectfully accepted the scroll.

After leaving a few people behind to protect Fu Ruoyun and the others, the group continued on their way, pursuing the enemy.

The giant eye’s incarnation flew all the way to the extreme realm of the Western Region. The deeper it went, the higher the temperature of the flame became.

The void twisted and turned red under the heat of the flames.

After traveling for about a hundred miles, the surroundings were already surrounded by endless seas of fire.

Further ahead, the flames were no longer a mix of red and yellow; they were a deep red, like a red lotus!

These flames carried the power of destruction; even a touch could leave nothing but ashes!

As a result, the extreme western region of Great Qian was the only one without any external beings or living creatures.

“Heavenly flames.” The eye orb murmured.

If earlier, the eye orb had a 60-70% certainty about its speculation, now it was completely sure that the flames blocking the extreme region were the heavenly flames of the Immortal Realm’s Flame Lord!

Looking up, a huge black curtain hung like a waterfall from the sky.

But to reach it, they had to cross the sea of red lotus flames.

The giant eye’s incarnation can’t do it unless the real body comes.

“This distance will suffice.” The giant eye spoke, and a crimson light shot up from its pupils.

In the Immortal Realm, the realm of Western Buddhas, the void twisted and two large eyeballs appeared simultaneously. They were the two bodies of Heavenly Eye’s, and one of them asked, “It’s time to take action.”

The other said nothing.

Then, there was a loud bang, and the eye that they worshiped as their master shattered.

As if starry light, the lines of Dao text kept flowing into the broken void, forming a passageway. The starry lines were fragments of Dao.

“Look, look at that red light ahead!” A colleague from the Demon Slaying Department exclaimed.

“That’s definitely where the enemy is located.”

“I wonder what it’s trying to do. We must quicken our pace,” Gong Cang frowned and said.

However, Qin Feng glanced around and saw that except for Mu Huang, who was calm, the foreheads of the two wives and the senior brother were already covered with beads of sweat, while the others seemed to have reached their limit.

“The temperature of these flames far exceeds our expectations. If we continue, we will all lose our fighting power,” Qin Feng said seriously.

Shen Li nodded. “This isn’t a feasible approach.”

On the way here, Qin Feng had also studied the ancient scroll given by Commander Fu, but the scroll seemed locked and impervious to any type of energy he tried to channel into it.

“This thing doesn’t seem to solve our current predicament.”

After observing for a while, the City God statue spoke up: “I recognize these flames.”

Everyone turned their attention to the statue.

The City God continued, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be the undying flames of Flame Lord—Heavenly Flames.”

Qin Feng was slightly taken aback. “Flame Lord? But, senior, didn’t you say earlier that this god, like the Heavenly Emperor, had disappeared? Could it be that he’s here?”

“Not just the Heavenly Emperor and Flame Lord. Many gods and immortals vanished after the battle of the gods and demons’ descent.”

“I’ve long suspected that they stayed in the broken world for a certain purpose.”

“Perhaps today, we might learn the truth.”

“If what you say is true, this ancient scroll is likely an item left behind by the Flame Lord. Do you know how to unlock it?”

The City God considered for a moment before saying, “The names of gods and demons are inscribed on the Destiny Monument; it’s an evolution of the Dao and the source of power. Perhaps the key to unlocking this scroll lies in Flame Lord’s true name.”

Qin Feng contemplated this; when he had slain the Candle Dragon, Senior Xuan Yi had called out its true name—Zhu Jiuyin.

“Wait, how did you know Candle Dragon’s true name?” Qin Feng suddenly thought of this question.

The City God exhaled deeply, wanting to say something but seemingly under immense pressure.

The true names of powerful gods and demons represent power, making them taboo in this world.

Only when the City God’s forehead split open did two strange characters emerge from his mouth, gradually becoming clear.

“Zhu Rong.”
